Questions lean more toward emotional IQ and less about the technical aspects of the job or my work history and knowledge. They had a skills test, but the testing parameters were not very well laid out.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at State of Washington (Hoquiam, WA) in November 2017.

Interview

Interview process took 40 days from start to finish. The impression I received during the interview was that the panel is that they had either already hire someone or already had a candidate identified. I did not care for the email wording that I received at the end of the process. "Our selection was made after carefully considering the skills and qualities offered by each candidate and how those supported the work of the LSR 3."

Interview

If you are prior Military, steer clear! The supposed psychiatric evaluation is actually a "job interview" as stated by the doctor conducting the evaluation. This doctor does not accept anyone with a PTSD rating or an interest in guns! A suit and tie are required for the psychiatric eval, don't get caught up like I was where I was informed to wear "nice clothes". The entire process is very Lengthy, broken, and poorly managed. This is something that is very disorganized and the steps for their process can take well over 6 months and cost you a lot of money, especially if you are coming from a long ways away as there are multiple steps that require the individual to go to Olympia for each step. The personal history statement has to be done very specifically to their liking, if not, they will send you away at the initial interview and tell you what you need to change and to call HR for a reschedule. Good luck getting another interview in a reasonable amount of time. Polygraph was not very honest, as they try to trick you into lying as the person giving mine told me after completing the process. If you don't have the time, money, and patients, don't bother. I have the credentials and knowledge to quote the Federal Motor Carrier Regulations and know more about the vehicle inspection process than the officers I had the pleasure of dealing with and that was not even a consideration for the position to those sitting a desk in Olympia. This was a degrading and as mentioned before, expensive experience.

There was a panel of 4 people. Your interview questions were on a sheet of paper in front of you. You read the question and tell them which one you're answering. You can answer in any order you like. Before the interview, there was a series of 5 tests to do. All in all, it was a great experience for me. Everyone was nice and professional and did a great job of keeping in contact.

It was an on-line interview. I created an account with on the State of Washington website and then logged in to the job I was applying for.

I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at State of Washington (Vancouver, WA) in March 2016.

Interview

Very rushed and robotic. The panel interview was 2 people that seemed nice; however it felt like they were in a hurry to get me through. They also had me interviewing for a position that I didn't apply for and I didn't correct them as they didn't give me a chance to speak. The supervisor didn't ask any questions and both appeared pretty apathetic. The next day the job was posted again and I haven't heard anything about the job I applied for. After this experience I am grateful that I didn't receive an offer as I did not get a good feeling from this location or the miserable looks on the faces of the interviewers and the staff I had to walk by.
